If you were required to be an organ donor, you’d save lives while setting yourself free. You’ll also give someone else a chance at taking the spot you had at work and your apartment.

    No. Volunteer euthanasia potentially benefits the individual

    • if it benefits society, that’s a huge conflict of interest that can easily turn a service for the most desperate into a tool for oppression
    • organ donation may not be beneficial if a large proportion of these desperate had formerly escaped through drugs or are enduring chronic medical issues
    • should not be common enough to create a noticeable population change. There is no “spot freed up”. In the more likely scenario of population peaking in the next couple decades, then dropping rapidly, it could only exacerbate the problem
